CHDT Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Hi all, I think I've found a possible explanation of the config troubles some of us have experienced since the latest patches. On my pc, I'm "admin". So, I looked into my C/Users/Admin/Saved games/DCS/Screenshots folder and I saw some recent screenshots I've taken. By curiosity, I looked also into my C/Users/Defaut/Saved games/DCS/Screenshots and I saw too some other recent screenshots (NOT the same ones like in the other screenshots folder). Is it so possible, since the latest patches, that the game get confused with the settings, sometimes on "easy" sometimes on "realistic", simply because it doesn't look always in the same config folder? Is there a way for instance to force the game to look only into the C/Users/Admin.... ? PS: btw, my C/Users/Admin/Apps Data/Local/DCS folder is empty !

Kuky Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Your DCS settings are in Saved Games folder c:/Users/xxxx/Saved Games/DCSxxxx No longer active in DCS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHDT Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Yes, but I have, as I've already explained it, now two of such folders, the "Admin" one and the "Default" one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHDT Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 UPDATE and a very important one (at least for me) ;-) So, I've deleted my C/Users/Defaut/Saved games/DCS/ and I've tried some quick missions just some minutes ago. Torque is back, realistic FM's too, I can get spins and break again my Merlins, it looks that the game is 100% operational again !!!!! :-) So, to guys having experienced problems like me since the last big patch, try to delete this folder if you find it.

CHDT Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 I thought I explained clearly the problem. So again. I had two DCS folders in my "Users" folders. One in the "Admin" folder, the other one in the "default" folder. I deleted the one in the "default" folder ---> problems gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
